January 24, In Which We Eat Lunch, Finish Ram Dass, and Give Away Shoes

So, somehow on Tuesday and Wednesday, it got to be dinner time and I realized I had not eaten since my morning breakfast shake. Oops! I rectified that on Thursday.

Man, it is hard to eat mindfully for more than a few minutes at a time. Maybe that is why mindful eaters tend to be skinnier! Perhaps when I get bored enough with just eating and reach for my phone or a book, I could stop eating. Hmmmm? On the other hand, I did text someone I hadn’t heard from in a while, so that was pleasant.

I finished Still Here by Ram Dass. Interesting. His book on preparing for death has a lot of good lessons on how to live, and some major implications for practice. And by practice, I mean both dealing with clents and the more spiritual definition.

I also divested myself of a pair of kick-ass heels that I kept walking out of. I had tucked flats into my bag just in case and randomly (hahahahah, yeah right) ran into a a schoolmate who loves a shoe as much as I do and wears a size 8. In fact, we became friends when we traded compliments on shoe taste. How funny is that?
